The Music Thread

[StannyCFCJET]

These types of events aren't about the music Stanny. If it's about the music you are better off going to a smaller / indoor venue.

Yeah its about doing pills and shit but. Still a good lineup would be nice. At least Download looks good and we have the hella mega tour coming as well

[goaliepersempre]

Open Air Gränichen

Not full lineup yet

Millencolin, Eskimo Callboy, Dispised Icon, Swiss & Die Andrern, Stray from the Path, Schmutzki, Snitch, Malevolence, Toska, The Peacoks, Insanity, Carnal Decay, Bronco, Fluffy MAchine, Kabuki Joe and Moment Madness.

Should be a good weekend behind the bar again,

Not bad!!!
Despised Icon and Malevolence would be my standout picks there..

I'd be impressed if they could pull off their recorded sound live in an open venue. Getting the mix right not to mention all the fx working would be a nightmare.

Yeah, muddiness in particular can be a real issue if the venue isn't right..

The Sugar Hill Gang are listed for Groovin the Moo . Fark me if the GMF is with them for this I might even consider dropping in.

And this is the Edwards / Rodgers track the Sugar Hill Gang used for Rappers Delight.

[Bon]

Man... It's just such a good bass line.. haha

There is a property out near Sandy Hollow (that I go past every few weeks for work) that is named Sugar Hill, and I always end up getting this bass line stuck in my head for hours after driving by..

[Frodo]

I've got a lot of respect for Sugar Hill Gang but I really can't see that being an enjoyable experience for a few thousand teenagers to try and connect with 2 of the 3 original members, both of which would be 60+ years old at a guess, of a band that blew up and then fell away very quickly during the formative years of Hip Hop.


That said, with Supergrass, Darude, Kelis and the Veronica's to an extent, they are definitely catering to a middle aged crowd. So maybe they'll have a better idea of why Sugar Hill Gang are as important as they are.
I'm guessing the older bands will play during the day or something.

HAHAH No way, i didn't even realise all of those were in the lineup..
Does Darude just play Sandstorm for 40 minutes straight?

I can only assume so.

[Frodo]

Kelis has plenty of good songs, but that crowd will just want to hear Milkshakes and then leave as well.

[Bon]

I was going to ask if that is all she would play, but didn't want to appear ignorant or to be bagging out on the festival.. haha.. (Well, no more than usual)

Kelis had a great run when she was working with The Neptune's (Pharrell and Chad from N.E.R.D.) but I assume those kids will only know her as the Milkshake Girl.

Big Bank Hank Jackson passed away in 2014 and yes the remaining two are in their 60's. One of my friends in the 70's to early 80's was right into rap / hip hop when it all started - I can't remember the other bands names at the time but the Sugar Hill Gang were sort of viewed as being too commercial and far from innovators in a genre that wasn't expected to last any longer than the Punk Movement [2 years or so]

I guess they got that wrong.

I liked the Sugar Hill Gang at the time but was more into Talking Heads, B-52's, and Joy Division at the time.

I agree 60 year olds at Groovin the Moo would be a bit disconnected from the crowd or teens - but the fans rarely have anything in common with bands other than being a pill away from an overdose.

[StannyCFCJET]

The Veronicas still go off live and they make alot more of their songs more rocky

There was a scene trying to break on to the radio with little success, then the Sugar Hill Gang came out with a really radio friendly version of Hip Hop that went big. So the scene didn't like that the first one to take off wasn't really representative of what was happening at the time.

That said, it was still what was needed to get Hip Hop on to the radio and help it become a viable career, so it still deserves all of its praise.

Hip Hop is actually fascinating in its formative years, it kind of latched on to other music styles (because of sampling) and then had multiple scenes running separately for a while and it took decades to finally form one giant scene, which is the juggernaut that is currently on top of the music chain.

So they make music for 12 yr old girls normally but make it for angry 12 yr old girls live?

Unify is $260 for 2 days of festival and camping. $200 for a single day festival is just robbery.

No young kid could afford that. Probably explains why the lineup is full of old bands.

Bands only do Festivals if they are on their way out or got conned by their management / label to do them possibly in support of a new act they are trying to break / promote.

These types of events have been a shit show since before Woodstock 69 and I doubt that much has changed.

As for prices they are out of control but it's probably due to insurance / security and every other prick putting their fingers into the ever shrinking pie.

Flipside of that coin is smaller bands getting a chance on early slots on bigger stages.

Have you been to any festivals lately

[The Dunster]

No. But I avoided them as a young bloke as well Stanny - not my thing - would much prefer a more intimate setting like a pub / small theatre.
The bands hate these events and when people don't enjoy what they are doing - their performances usually suffer because of it.

[The Dunster]

Absolutely - that's the only reason to go to this sort of event - you might get to see a Silverchair / Nirvana / U2 before they blow up.

But for $200 you could probably go see 3 side shows of the band's you want to see on better stages?

That'ss what I used to do when BDO went above $120 per ticket. 3 X $40 side shows was a better investment IMO.

Those Download tickets make Splendor look reasonably priced. That's a worry.

Actually I just checked, and...

A) the side shows aren't even in Sydney. Download must demand exclusivity in their contracts.

B) the tickets for Deftones are $100, which is also ridiculous. So you'd only get 2 sideshows.

Thankfully I've seen all the bands on that lineup that I like in their prime. So I'll save my money. But I feel for any kids coming through wanting to see live music. Gotta take out a personal loan just to go see a few bands.

Hey, I'm not telling you that you shouldn't go or anything. I'm just in shock at the price of it and the sideshows.

I mentioned this in the famous dead peoples thread but thougth it worth noting here.
It's 40 years today since Ian Curtis of Joy Division chose to leave this mortal coil.

Glass - A classic example of the raw, driving energy this band created, polished off with Martin Hannett (https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/joy-division-unknown-pleasures-martin-hannett-producer-2508983)'s visionary production.
His mixing and subliminals are the icing on the cake.

Stanny... I've gotta say.. That was pretty damn good..
Some nice meat-and-potatoes chunky metalcore.. Reminds me a lot of some older Hatebreed (but with a bit more production value)..
The whole time I was listening, I was waiting for the melodic sing-a-long whiney chorus, and it didn't come!!!

[Bon]

Meanwhile whilst working from home I've been re-visiting some classic Swedish melodic death metal..
In Flames before they "did an Opeth" and went soft - not that there is necessarily anything wrong with it, I just prefer their harder stuff..
Production obviously isn't the greatest (it was 1999 after all), but there is just something about the riffs and tone of the guitars that are really evocative to me..

Hottest 100 hard this year.

[Jetmaster]

For the older sweats.

Kevin Godley (ex 10cc) has released a very different and fresh solo album, Muscle Memory. Actually released every single track as a single weekly up to release this week.

At 74, still a very talented individual. the album was written around musical pieces sent in by fans.

As one of the great music video directors, this one is as quirky as ever - and still a brilliant voice.

Sorry Stanny, but yes.. It is..

Unfortunate that someone from IKTPQ passed though (played a few shows with them back in the day, good dudes.. Unlike Amity)

[Bon]

These blokes can certainly play. Not fussed on the vocals though - but people my age in the 1970's didn't think much about Led Zeppelin either.

I've been waiting for you to come back to the Music section Dunster!

You got any other early prog style bands to recommend? Along the lines of Yes or Can? Really enjoying that stuff atm..

Can you explain why? I've heard plenty of garbage pop music through my work and don't understand how this Amity track sounds like that

Ahhh mate.. I didn't mean to sound so negative about it..
I think it's the highly glossed production (which isn't necessarily always a bad thing) combined with the standard basic Amity songwriting formula of melody, angry metal riffs, whiny melody, angry riffs and screaming, high clean whinging melody, breakdown for the kids, finish with melody.. etc etc..

In the end, if you enjoy it and really dig it, thats awesome, go for it.. It's just not for me.
(I realise a LOT of the music that I post isn't for everyone, which is fine.. Kind of like Grim with his Disc Golf posts.. hahaha)

[Grimario]

Wow.

Fair enough, makes sense when you put it like that, I was very late to the Amity train didnt really listen to em until their last album so probs why I love their new stuff soo much

[Jeterpool]

Wow.

This thread needs more Scottish rock.

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

Genesis - Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
King Crimson - Red
Jethro Tull - Stand Up

[The Dunster]

Jethro Tull - We Used to Know. Apparently No member of the Eagles had ever heard this song. I don't believe them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EBQ-ljFlt4

[Grimario]

Jethro Tull are fantastic. I remember listening to Thick as a Brick as a kid and my dad had this amazing brand new record player where the arm went UNDERNEATH. Good times.

Excellent work Dunster and Grim..
I've got some listening to do tonight, perhaps combined with some drinks or other 'music enhancer'.. haha
Biffy Clyro - I've heard the name, but never given them a go..
Am very well aware of King Crimson.. Love their stuff.. One of my biggest regrets was not seeing them live in Munich on my last night in Germany a few years back..
I grew up listening to a lot of Jethro Tull on vinyl (My Dad was a big fan when younger I think).. I've got an LP here that I picked up for a $1 somewhere..

[Grimario]

I've taken a departure from my usual stuff and today am listening to the 6.5 hour marathon that is "Feel Flows" The Sunflower & Surf's Up Sessions 1969-1971 (Super Deluxe).
Not that I ever had a voice like anyone in The Beach Boys but I wish I hadn't given in to school bullying and stuck with choir and singing.

Just out of curiosity, Stanny..
Are you a Bring Me The Horizon fan??

Yeah I am, Love everything sepiternal onwards and bits and pieces of stuff before that, That's the spirit is a masterpiece as is the concert and the royall albert hall

I knew it!!!!
From what few singles I've heard, I haven't liked anything after "Count Your Blessings". I absolutely loved their first EP "This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Is Made For", some good early deathcore..
From where they started to where they are now is just an immense leap in musical style - which some would argue is good. (I wouldn't, haha)

If they continued that style and Ollie didnt work on his voice he wouldnt have a voice left, He was using bad technique for years apparently

Well yeah, and admittedly they probably wouldn't be anywhere near as big or popular as they are now either..
The whole "sellout" argument that's been going on forever with bands..

That's just a copout from salty fans on the most part IMO, But then if you don't change it up you get bands like Nickleback who get hated anyway

You reckon? I don't know.. Bands can change their style without being considered sell-outs..

Nickelback, I'm not defending them. I don't rate their music, but they are successful. I don't know who, but someone is buying their fvcking albums..
I would say people (at least, in my circle of friends) hate Nickelback for a lot of reasons, like their style, their songs, their attitude, their crap picture frame clip, their look, the singer and his poodle haircut, being best friends with Pantera but not being heavy, haha the list goes on and on..
People wouldn't necessarily hate on them for sounding the same on every album cause the Foo Fighters are damn successful and pretty widely loved..

Foo Fighters change it up though. Maybe not dramatically but enough to make each album fresh IMO

AC/DC have been making the same album since 1975. As Angus said - it paid the bills.

[Frodo]

Bring me the Horizon got to the top by always jumping off a scene right before it dies out and wherever they end up is almost always the next big thing. Jumped from Deathcore to Postcore to Alternative Hardcore and then to basically Pop Metal on the latest album. They have continued to polarise their older fanbases but keep finding new fans every album.

Whereas bands like Foo Fighters stayed exactly where they started and honed that sound for a few decades. (Although they did just record a Bowie style dance rock album, lmao, so even they got bored of it eventually.)

Both are huge, but took different approaches. I'd say whatever keeps you getting paid is the best way to keep you making music if that's what you want to do.

I'm 47 seconds in, and already loving it.. You disappoint me Mr Baggins, I was expecting a LOT worse..
It's so bad that it's amazing.. haha

I like it - guitar kicks arse.

New song out from Nekrogoblikon..
Taking silly comedic goblin-metal to the next level..

Yeah, doesn't look too bad Stanny!
I think it would only be Gojira getting me to fork out for it though.. also interested to hear Punk in Drublic in its entirety..
Perhaps the low chance that Deftones might play some old stuff too.. or maybe even to see what Soulfly have been doing for the last 20 years..

Silent Planet and Currents will be playing at the Cambo this Saturday night..
Perfect timing to head on over after the Jets game..
I expect to see you there Stanny... :thumbsup:

Sadly work weekends these days so will be going home after Jets game, Plus short of dosh after selling my left kidney for blink tickets this week. Was defs keen for silent planet, Ive heard abit of them and digging it so far

[furns]

Well as I said on the Jetstream (or will say when it releases tomorrow morning) I fell down a rabbit hole in the offseason on yewwtube of reaction videos of overseas people to our aussie artists. I am someone whose musical tastes are very wide ranging, but must admit I think I underappreciated at the time how good we had it here in the 80's and 90's with our bands and singers. I was too busy being into TripleJ alternative stuff (and EDM/trance/electronica) at the time to give more than a passing interest to the more rock stuff.

If you want to lose yourself in people being absolutely blown away by John Farnham - search for the reaction videos on his performance of Help that he did live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. I didnt really came across it until recently and Ive never appreciated the vocal range that man has. He really should have been a worldwide star except he didnt want to be away from his family.
Then again, the American record labels apparently "couldnt do anything" with either him or Barnsey. Stupid.

[NUGUNS]

Been on a Fear Factory and Devin Townsend binge lately and these guys kept randomizing on Spotify radio after a playlist was done. I'm very happy to have stumbled upon them although its a bit late as they have recently broken up.

I looked through the thread and noticed they were mentioned like 10 years ago a few times....if only I had seen it earlier.

Not actually a musical question per se but who would be the modern-day equivalent of Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. Not musically but as the band or performer name on a t-shirt worn by some mong that couldn't name more than three songs by that band or performer.

Definitely bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Rolling Stones and Nirvana.. Actually, i realise these probably aren't the "modern day" equivalents that you might mean.
Pretty sure they sell shirts like that in your K-Mart or Jay Jays or places like that which are pretty accessible for your average Joe..
It also doesn't help when you see articles online like "the new celebrity trend, band tees!" (google it)

I remember a few years back, being in the Cambo and saw a chick with a Blind Guardian shirt on.. My mate (who was a big fan of theirs) proceeded to grill her about her fave songs and then went mental when she had no idea who they were.. haha

[Bremsstrahlung]

BMTH had a pretty sick live show.
Polaris, Amity also pretty safe bets despite some sound issues.

Deadset, if you bought tickets for NOFX, not my style at all, but they spent probably 15 minutes talking trash.

[StannyCFCJET]

Good things was ****ed. Sound ****ed for every single band pretty much and that's without the Brisbane issues getting into the venue. Organisers will have to make a statement

[Bon]

Jeeeez its been a while since I've posted in here..

Heading to Sydney this arvo to see Archspire.. Still a few tickets available if anyone is down for some tech death..
